Though this is the wrong section pkm, that Zorua was not hacked, eggs are just as capable of getting pokerus as pokemon are. Someone gave you a nice gift .

@Aqua, an illegal IV combination refers to a combination of IV's that your PID is incapable of generating, though I believe it only happens with shinies. And Zerky, it is impossible for an egg to inherit an illegal IV combination, simply because your game cannot generate it (which is what makes it illegal).

Dragon, it is a grey area, but so long as the ditto only has 31 IV stats and doesn't have a glitch/hack moveset then the eggs you get will appear legit, in that all of their in-game data will check-out as legit since it was indeed generated by your game and not by an AR.

(By In-game data I mean everything, including the hidden things which only hacking can reveal about a pokemon, and if all of this data checks out it means that no matter what test they are put through they do not appear as hacked, as their own data was indeed properly generated, which is what a hack-check looks for, flaws in the way the data was generated).

He said, ''are the pokemon that i breed with it hacked.'' Which really makes it sound as if he was referring to the other parent, not the offspring.

What is an "illegal IV distribution"? I have never heard of even a hacked Pokemon with an IV greater than 31 in a stat. O_o

Byzantine already answered what illegal IV distribution is, but in addition to that, I have personally received a hacked deoxys from a trade with over 31 IVs in every stat except HP (where it had 31). It was either that or there was some other hack on it that set its EVs in stone or messed up its stats somehow because I was going to get it looked at here until I berried it, checked the IVs and then saw how blatantly hacked it was. After berrying everything down to zero, none of its stats other than HP would even compute in the IV calculator and they were all above the legal max. Safe to say you couldn't actually *breed* anything with it, being a deoxys and all, but still. lol

I have no idea what would happen if it was a breedable pokémon and what sort of genetically defective kids would result from an unholy pairing with it.

-I think the same for Lugia is I do with Deoxys.
-Magmortar seems legit.
-Ponyta can't be found in route 214 for Platinum. It can be found in D/P. If it's imported, then it's a hack. If you got it from a trade, then it appears to be legit.
-The Shuckle seems to be hacked. "

would like Ponyta/Rapidash and Shuckle redetermined. Shuckle as there was some dissension regarding "faraway place" and Rapidash for clarification: he was received via GTS so I can't speak for his original cart (but I really hope he's legit O_O )

If it was originally caught on Diamond and Pearl, then it should be fine.
However, since you really don't seem to know where it came from, I don't think you will ever be able to know for sure if it is legit or not. It doesn't appear to have anything illegal about it, so I wouldn't worry about it.

My guess for this one would be that it's a hack. Since it says "apparently met at lv. 61," I think that means it was caught at that level. You can't catch Shuckles at that level legally. As for the "faraway place," that would mean it was caught in HGSS or a Platinum exclusive area (assuming you're playing DP). Still, you can't find level 61 wild Shuckle in HGSS, and the only time you can get them in Platinum exclusive areas is by hatching an egg there (and from the info you've provided, it doesn't look like it came from an egg).
So my guess is that it's a hack. :/

Can we really put that much stock in the "met at" tag since it came from GTS and arrived at that level? He's on a DPPt cart, if that helps. Could he have been Pal Parked from E/FR/LG then sent through GTS?

nothing seems overly suspicious. the IV's aren't inflated, & you can catch them in pearl at that level. it's likely that the masterball to catch it was hacked, but some people do save their masterball for shinies. off the top, i'd say it was okay.

yeah that was my thought i just hate pokemon caught in masterballs. because it just screams hack! if i came across a shiny bagon id use an ultra ball or any other ball for that matter not a masterball. but other people are different, but i personally think its caught using action replay just the person turned on the shiny cheat then went to an area with bagon and caught it but i have never used action replay so i dont know how it works.

You can't say for sure whether it's a hack or not. I can see why you would be suspicious about a shiny non-legendary being caught in a Masterball, but it's not impossible for a legit one to be caught this way. You can easily get more than one Masterball from cloning, trading, etc. And a shiny can easily be found by getting a large chain using the Poke Radar.

Your Bagon doesn't have anything illegal about it, so I would just assume that it's legit.

okay he said it was chained anyway so ill just go with it thanks for the replys.

If it came from a GBA game, its memo would say "arrived at level 61." The "apparently met at level 61" thing means that it was caught at level 61 in a DS Pokemon game.

that's why I'm thinking...let me see if I can explain my thoughts better....

caught in E/FR/LG, pal parked to DPPt to get "arrived at 61" in that cart, sent over GTS to land in my cart with "apparently" as a holdover from the sender...

did that make sense? and is that possible? (not to discount the advice in this thread, but to clarify and maybe educate). I've had a couple direct trades to HG/SS from DPPt of previously parked 'mon that landed with "apparently"...I know those are legit; why couldn't it happen over GTS too?

Any other notes?: I got it off the GTS for a level 23 breloom so I'm kinda suspicious here, its a bit too good to be true, esp since that breloom stunk.

If it says it was caught at level 22, then it has to be hacked. There is no way to catch a level 22 Ditto in the Trophy Garden. Sorry. :/

Not to sound ungrateful I appreciate you help on this subject i just found out some new information that it is probably legit I just found out that some sites are not up to date but it is possible to catch level 22 dittos
